Recipes

Apple Crumble• Recipe serves 1-2

Delicious, fruity dessert made up of soft Granny Smith apples and a coconut oat crumble. I recommend topping it with a delicious, warm homemade custard.

Veggie Roll● Recipe makes 4 rolls

The veggie rolls are hot vegetable

filled pastries that are easy to make,

simple to eat on the run and absolutely

delicious!

Koftas with

Yoghurt Sauce• Recipe serves 1

A healthy meal with a beautiful finish. This dish is made up fresh lamb and burghal salad on a warm tortilla.

Fried Rice• Recipe serves 1

Delicious meal you can eat for lunch, dinner or half the recipe for a snack! Healthy, easy and oh so yummy.

Pizza Scrolls• Recipe makes 8 large scrolls

Delicious scrolls with a soft, scone like texture. This product is a healthier alternative as it uses a simple dough instead of pastry

Which Recipes were your favourite?Out of all the recipes, I most preferred:

-Koftas: The Burgal Salad was absolutely delicious with the lamb, and the yoghurt topped off the dish wonderfully. I made it for my family and everyone enjoyed it. I believe the recipe is a healthy, tasty dish for all ages.

-Baked Potatoes- I love baked potatoes and always get one at food truck festivals, and this recipe was a delicious copy of the street food. It is easy to make at home as a last minute dinner (which I did) and remains tasty no matter how many times you have it.

-Veggie Roll- This recipe is a delicious way to intake all the needed vitamins and nutrients. It was absolutely delicious and I would make it again in a heartbeat.

Which Recipes were your least favourite?Out of all the recipes, I least enjoyed:

-Noodle Box: I loved the noodle boxes, but it was not a dish I would choose over the others. I believe I would have enjoyed it more if it were warm.

-Anzac Biscuits: Alike the Noodle Box I did love them, but I do have (in my opinion) a better recipe at home.

What I’ve Learnt

SkillsSkills I’ve learnt throughout Food

Technology include:

-How to use a gas oven. My oven at

home does not require using a lighter

and this was a great skill to learn for

future reference.

-Multiple methods of chopping. I learnt

the difference between dicing, cutting,

crushing, etc.

-The proper way to wash dishes. I did

not previously know of this method and

I’ve found it efficient and effective.

The main thing I have learnt is the

nutrients and vitamins needed to maintain

a healthy body. From this I have been

taught the importance of calcium and fibre,

how to have a healthy snack and which

nutrients are highest in which foods. I’ve

also learnt about the importance of

washing food, as well as dishes thoroughly.

I will most definitely use this knowledge in

the future. Knowing what I should and

should not eat will affect in a positive

manner what I choose to order at

Canteens, cafes, etc. I will also know when

I’ve had too much or too little of a nutrient

and therefore realise what I should eat

next.

Knowledge

ConclusionFood Technology has provided

me with an informal, educational

and scrumptious experience. The

skills I’ve learnt, knowledge I’ve

gained and recipes I’ve brought to

life I will remember for future

reference. I have particularly

enjoyed being able to cook and

eat delicious meals and learn how

to benefit my body through what I

eat. For this opportunity I am

grateful to Padua and Mrs.

Beesley.
